Seems like dad KYLE CROXFORD has confessed to beating a newborn. Scum doesn't seem like a strong enough condemnation for a POS like this.

A 25-year-old father was charged Friday with five counts of child abuse after allegedly beating his 4-month-old daughter.

RIVERDALE — A 25-year-old father was charged Friday with five counts of child abuse after allegedly beating his 4-month-old daughter.

Kyle Croxford confessed to intentionally or knowingly causing serious physical injuries to his daughter, according to charges filed in Weber County's 2nd District Court. Police say the baby girl was taken to Primary Children's Medical Center on Wednesday with brain injuries, a healing but broken collar bone, a broken rib, broken leg bones and other injuries. 

Croxford told investigators the abuse began approximately a month ago and that he didn't seek medical care because he was afraid of being held accountable, charging documents state.

Each of the five charges are second-degree felonies. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
